General Commentisn't this about his life in high school?
it might just be me, because i haven't read his biography or nothin like that, but the kind of guy Pete is seems like the kind of kid who probably got bullied in school
im jus takin a literal meaning here but
i think it's cause he asked this nice chick out on a valentives date, but she stood him up, even though he planned this big ol romantic dinner for her
sooooooo, i think the girl would be one of those really popular bitches at school who spite the uncool kids
jus throwin it out there

General Comment"I think it's a little deeper than a breakup, it suggests a death. I don't know of anyone who'd mourn a breakup for 10 years... "ten for roses, each one a year"."
I think that the ten years were how long the relationship was. I could be wrong.

General CommentI'd say it was only inspired by his father's death, and then I would agree with rustedthoughts.
Each Valentine's Day, the guy used to give a rose to his gf, so the line would refer to that.
Just my two cents ;)

General Commentit sucks being alone or being broken up with durring valentines day. type o can relate. its wierd tho, this song IMO sounds a bit upbeat at parts while its obvious that the message is pretty sad.

General CommentI thought he was singing 'without love believe these words I say'
which I took to mean: your concept of love is tainted; you'd best get on with killing yourself, buddy.
Killing yourself = executing your implanted beast666 mind virus, swapping it for the Christ one, which all your 'common sense,' and your 'friends' (the people you make dates with to go out and fuck your minds up even worse.) all that stuff you 'know' because you saw it on TV!
It is incredibly sad, that the (seemingly) most fucked-up, degenerate, sorry excuses of wasted human potential, are the one's who are gifted with the sight to steer the ship of civilization away from total oblivion.
